Tobu Railway Nikko Station （東武日光駅）, Nikko, Japan
Tobu Railway Nikko station (東武日光駅） is located in UNESCO World Heritage Nikko, in Tochigi prefecture, Japan. There is a JR line also goes to Nikko, so if you have JR Pass, you can take JR trains, instead of Tobu Railway train.
The Tobu train to Nikko starts from Asakusa station in Tokyo Metropolis, so if you are in Tokyo, it is easy to take the Tobu train direct to Nikko. Tobu Railways also provides packaged tickets which let you take the buses inside Nikko and tickets to the temples and shrines. Most of the buses that run on Nikko and surroundings (such as the Chuzenji hot springs) are operated by Tobu, so it pays to buy one of the Tobu packages.
Both JR and Tobu Nikko stations are setup in serene, peaceful and enchanting mountain surroundings and Nikko itself is a fun (and spiritual) place to visit.
Enjoy!
Tokyo to Nikko Train Ride | First Impressions of Nikko, Japan
Come join us as we take a train ride from Tokyo to Nikko along with giving you our first impressions of Nikko, Japan. After spending a month in Tokyo we were more than ready to switch from big city living in Japan to a more rural setting. Having heard a lot about Nikko we were stoked to finally get an opportunity to visit. We ended up getting Nikko passes with a small upgrade for a direct train to Nikko. This meant we didn't have to transfer trains. For lunch we tried our first Bento box in Japan which is also considered classic Japanese train food. Upon arriving we give you a small Nikko hotel room tour along with a quick wander around town showing you residential areas, rivers, mountains and a Japanese cemetery. Overall, our first impressions of Nikko, Japan are favorable and we can't wait to explore more in the next episode.

Tokyo to Nikko Train Ride | First Impressions of Nikko, Japan Travel Video Transcript:
We are coming to you looking all greasy and sweaty from Burger King. Yeah. Just outside Asakusa Train Station (xxx). It is a travel day. It sure is. It is an early start. We checked out of capsule hotel today yeah in Shin Okubo and we are traveling up to Nikko. We are going to be spending four days enjoying a bit of nature. Yes. Rivers. Streams. Escaping the big city of Tokyo.
we're going to be in the region for that long and basically that includes transportation from Tokyo to Nikko and well transportation on the slowest of the trains which we've already missed but it is a good thing because you have to like transfer a whole bunch of times. Yeah, something like three times. Yeah, two or three times.
So we had to pay a little upgrade but it doesn't matter because the pass gives us access to a whole bunch of activities once we get to Nikko. Like they have boat cruises on the Lake. Yeah. And like cable ways or rope ways. We'll be showing you guys all of the that in a future video.
Let me tell you the price for the pass. So it was 4,520 Yen. Yeah. Per person.
So about $40 US dollars. That is a pretty good deal especially if we utilize. I think if we utilize it well. And I think we will. We will.
I really want to cover Nikko well. Yeah. We are going there to do stuff.
That is so true and we actually haven't had a Bento Box since we've been in Japan for about a month and a half now. And pumped to have our first one. They had a few different ones to choose from. This looks like beef. I'm getting a beef one.
I think it has egg and I think it might have rice. So let's give it a try.
We made it. That was a really great journey. So scenic. It was so scenic we both fell asleep. Yes. You know what the coolest thing for me was? Like I feel asleep as it was starting to get rural just outside of Tokyo. Uh huh. But then when I woke up like I looked out and there was like these lush green rice paddies. Yeah. And then it turned into forest. Yes. Just before we got to Nikko.
Well we had a little nap, a little bite. How are we feeling? We sure did. We're going for a walk. It has finally cooled down enough that it is pleasant being outside. Yeah. And there is like a trail up the mountain. Is that like a cemetery? Seriously. That looks really neat. Let's go. Let's go.
Our hunch has been confirmed. It is a cemetery. It is. Right by the river. Right by the river.
At the foot of the mountains. Next to a forest.
Alright guys. So we are going to wrap up this video. It has been a long day. It has but it has been a very fun day. And just having that walk tonight going for a walk for an hour has really set the tone the excitement levels for tomorrow.
Sam is super pumped for Nikko. I'm so pumped to be here. It is so scenic here. And this town is so chill. Things have basically shutdown by 6:30 or 7 PM. Yes.
The town is barely functioning just a few businesses open and it was just cool to walk around. We waked through residential areas, we walked along the river and yeah I can't wait to properly explore Nikko tomorrow. Bye.
This is part of our Travel in Japan video series showcasing Japanese food, Japanese culture and Japanese cuisine.

Nikko - A Day Trip from Tokyo
Travel details for your day trip pleasure:
To get to Nikko you need to take the JR Tohoku Shinkansen from Tokyo or Ueno train station to Utsunomiya Station. From here transfer to a JR Nikko Line train. This trip is covered by a JR Pass (you probably have one if you are an international traveler). When you get to Nikko station you can pick up multiple maps of the area, bus routes/times, and buy your bus tickets here. The ticket I bought was the Unlimited 2 day bus ride between Nikko and Lake Chuzenji for 2000 yen ($20) as this covers the World Heritage Meguri Bus loop (for Toshogu Shrine) and up the mountain to Lake Chuzenji and Kegon Falls.
The World Heritage Bus stops right outside JR Nikko station which is easy, however to get up the mountain later you need to catch a Nikko-Chuzenjiko-Yumoto bus from the main road (Nishisando stop). You will be on the bus for 30-45 minutes up narrow and windy roads (but wow the view is amazing) and you want to get off at Lake Chuzenji.
Here is the fab website that I got most of my information from when I planned my trip:
The extra costs of the daytrip are:
1300 yen for entry to Toshogu shrine (extra for English audio headset tour)
500 yen to reach the lower viewing platform of Kegon Falls
Let me know if you have any travel tips when going to Nikko!

Complete Trip Guide From Tokyo to Nikko JAPAN - UNCUT VERSION
Nikko is a small city in Japan’s Tochigi Prefecture, in the mountains north of Tokyo. It’s the site of Toshogu, the famed Shinto shrine established in 1617 as a lavish memorial for Tokugawa Ieyasu, founding ruler of the Tokugawa shogunate, or Edo Period. The shrine comprises the gilded Yomeimon Gate, the main sanctuary set in a cedar grove and the tomb itself.
Japan is a lovely country to be visited and we loved to go there again someday.

Nikko, Japan | Things to do on your Tokyo Sidetrip to Nikko (Travel Guide)
Nikko is one of the more beautiful places we have visited in Japan. Famous for its heritage sites and breathtaking mountains, it is also known for the many onsens built around the hot springs that dot the area.
About a 2-hour train ride from Tokyo, Nikko is the perfect destination for travelers who want to see a more rural side of Japan.

First Things First
We stayed at the Tobu Hotel Lavant Tokyo for a day before heading to Nikko.
The nicest part was waking up to an unobstructed view of the Tokyo Skytree which was pretty awesome.
The breakfast buffet was nice, with choices between Western and Japanese.
Visit the Skytree
Since it was so near, we went to check out the Tokyo Skytree, one of the city’s most iconic landmarks and tourist attractions. Reaching up to 634 metres (2,080 ft), the Skytree is the second tallest man-made structure in the world after the Burj Khalifa.
The tower is connected to Skytree Mall with shops and restaurants you can visit before heading up the tower.
There are two observatories, one at 350 m (1,150 ft) and the other at 450 m (1,480 ft). A glass covered skywalk, which gives visitors the most stunning view of Tokyo, encompasses a spiral walkway.
The best time to visit is right before sunset. You can watch the streets below come to life in a symphony of lights that is absolutely breathtaking.
Welcome to Nikko
The best way to get to Nikko is via train, which you can catch from Asakusa Station. The trip is around 2 hours.
If you want a bit of privacy, opt for a cabin. You can take in the rural scenery while making chitchat with your companions.
The Tobu Railway, which is the primary line in Nikko, stops at various destinations throughout the region.
Nikko is a rather large mountainous locality approximately 140 km north of Tokyo. Two large rivers pass directly through the city proper, and there are a number of falls and hot springs in the area.
Nikko is mostly known for its onsens that have been built around the various hot springs. Nature attractions and world heritage sites are also major draws for tourists.
The Japanese visit Nikko during holidays and weekends, especially during winter when the hot springs can be best enjoyed.
Toby World Square
When visiting Nikko, we recommend stopping by the Tobu World Square.
It’s a miniatures theme park with replications of various world landmarks and heritage sites. There is a close to ‘It’s a Small World After All’ feel about the park but without that dreaded theme song.
The miniatures are extremely detailed, and they look amazing! The trees are actual banzi’s that bring the installations to life.
There are a handful of restaurants at the park. We opted for the Japanese restaurant.
A delicious hot bowl of soba noodles to counter the chilling weather outside was the way to go plus a shot of hot sakê, of course.
Edo Wonderland
Probably the best part of our short stay in Nikko, Edo Wonderland is a breathing, living, Edo period village that gives guests the chance to experience life during the heyday of Shoguns and Samurai.
There are a number of activities and attractions to see, but the coolest thing is being able to rent Kimono’s to wear around the park. Prices vary depending on the class and style of the kimono, for instance, a Shogun’s Kimino will cost more than that of a Samurai or Commoner. The staff also address and respond to you based on your attire, which helps you immerse in the experience.
Me failing horribly at trying to play the Shamisen, a traditional Japanese 3-string instrument.
Kamakura Snow Festival
From December to March, Nikko receives snowfall. What takes place during this time of the year is a local festival known as the Yunishigawa Kamakura Festivial where many of the establishments use the freshly fallen snow to build Kamakura. This is a type of igloo or snow house where guests can hangout, take pictures and even enjoy local snacks.
Make sure you visit the festival during day time. The various shops and cafes are closed in the evening.
Time to Relax
Nikko is most famous for its mountainside onsens and spas. There are a number of hotels in the area which cater to visitors who come to Nikko to experience the hot springs during winter.
We checked in to Hana To Hana, one of the better known onsens in the area. The staff were all friendly; and the food, exceptional even by Japanese standards.
The rooms are traditional Japanese style. Ours had a fantastic view of the river from the window.
There are two onsens in the hotel—a stone one which, unfortunately, we were unable to shoot due to guest and hotel regulations and another smaller wood-style one (pictured above), which they were kind enough to let us take a picture of.
Breakfast and dinner are included with your stay at Hana To Hana which is a plus. To be honest, the Yakiniku style dinner was the best meal we’ve ever had in Japan.
